A new stem cell transplant developed at Johns Hopkins has cured sickle cell disease in 95% of patients, using half-matched donors like parents or siblings. The breakthrough means nearly every sickle cell patient can now access a cure that also preserves fertility.
Children with sickle cell disease now have a survival rate exceeding 95% thanks to breakthrough stem cell transplant techniques. New treatments are also opening curative options for kids who previously had no donor matches.
A new stem cell research center at a public hospital in Hyderabad aims to make cutting-edge regenerative therapy affordable for everyday patients. The facility will manufacture clinical-grade stem cells for trials targeting liver failure and other life-threatening conditions.
Scientists in China have discovered how to turn a single stem cell into 14 million powerful cancer fighters, potentially making lifesaving treatment available to thousands more patients. The breakthrough slashes costs and could transform how we treat leukemia and other cancers.
Researchers at the University of Oslo have found a way to halt cancer stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia by targeting a molecule previously thought to worsen the disease. The breakthrough could lead to personalized treatments that stop cancer before it spreads.
Mount Sinai researchers made old blood stem cells behave like young ones again by repairing tiny cellular recycling centers, boosting their regenerative power eightfold. This discovery could lead to treatments that help elderly people maintain healthier immune systems and reduce risks of blood disorders.
Babies born with Hirschsprung disease face a lifetime of surgeries because they're missing vital nerves in their digestive system. Now a UK research team has created a revolutionary stem cell therapy that could offer a permanent cure.
British researchers have developed a revolutionary therapy that grows missing gut nerves from stem cells in just six days, offering hope for newborns with a life-threatening digestive disease. The breakthrough could end the need for repeated surgeries that many children currently face.
Japanese researchers discovered two types of stem cells that naturally build tooth roots and anchoring bone, unlocking the cellular blueprint for regrowing actual teeth. This breakthrough could end our reliance on dentures and implants forever.
Scientists have found that stem cells from umbilical cords could help repair brain damage in babies born too early, offering hope where no treatments currently exist. After six years of research, the breakthrough is now ready for human trials.
Japan just approved the first commercially available stem cell treatments for Parkinson's disease and heart failure, bringing hope to millions worldwide. Patients could receive these groundbreaking therapies as early as this summer.
Japanese researchers successfully treated cerebral palsy symptoms in rats using stem cells from baby teeth, even after disabilities had already developed. Clinical trials are now underway to test this safe, ethical treatment in children.
A 63-year-old Norwegian man has been living without HIV medication for three years after receiving stem cells from his brother who carried a rare genetic mutation. His case offers crucial clues for researchers working toward an HIV cure.
Scientists are testing a groundbreaking treatment that implants lab-engineered stem cells into the brain to rebuild dopamine production in Parkinson's patients. If successful, the therapy could restore motor function and slow disease progression for over one million Americans living with the condition.
Doctors at USC are implanting lab-grown stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's patients to restore dopamine production and potentially reverse symptoms. The therapy could offer hope to over one million Americans living with this progressive disease.
Scientists are testing a groundbreaking stem cell treatment that could help the brain produce dopamine again, potentially restoring movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The early trial at three U.S. medical centers is showing promise for the one million Americans living with this progressive condition.
A groundbreaking trial is testing whether lab-grown stem cells implanted in the brain can replace damaged cells and restore dopamine production in Parkinson's patients. If successful, the therapy could slow disease progression and give more than a million Americans their mobility back.
Researchers have solved a major puzzle in cancer treatment by learning how to grow helper T cells from stem cells for the first time. The breakthrough could make powerful cancer therapies cheaper and available to millions more patients.
Chinese scientists used stem cell therapy to completely reverse type 2 diabetes in a patient for the first time ever. The breakthrough treatment eliminated the patient's need for insulin injections by regrowing healthy pancreatic cells.
A 63-year-old Norwegian man became just the tenth person worldwide to achieve long-term HIV remission after a stem cell transplant from his brother. The procedure worked because his sibling carried a rare genetic mutation that blocks the virus from entering cells.
